Berzelii park

Berzelii Park is a central green space in Norrmalm situated between two main thoroughfares. It features open lawns, seasonal flower displays, walking paths, and ample seating areas throughout the grounds.

The park was created in 1852 on the site of a former bay that had been filled in during the 1830s. Its establishment marked the conversion of this central area into a public green space.

The bronze monument of chemist Jons Jacob Berzelius stands as a focal point honoring a major scientific figure. It represents an early example of public recognition for a non-royal individual, shaping how visitors experience the space today.

The park is accessible from multiple directions and sits adjacent to cultural venues and dining establishments. Visitors will find seating distributed throughout and clear paths for leisurely exploration.

A section of cast iron railing from an old bridge demolished in 1845 remains preserved in the park grounds. This architectural fragment connects visitors to a lesser-known chapter of the city's development.
